#Air Quality

Google Maps just rolled out a new feature called ‘Air Quality’ which is included in the layers option. The new Air Quality feature enables users to check right away the air quality index in a given area (AQI) with real-time data based on government monitoring stations and other non-regulated or independent partners. This will help users to have more informed decisions if this is the best time to do outdoor activity in a given place or if is it the time that we need to wear some protective gear from unhealthy air. To enable the AQI, open the Google Maps app and then tap the ‘layers icon’ then select the ‘air quality layer.’ After tapping, the Google Map will zoom out to show a bird’s eye view of the air quality in a larger area. Apple today unveiled their smallest notebook so far -- an 11.6" Macbook Air weighing in at only 2.3lbs (1.05kg). It's much lighter and thinner this time -- between 17mm to 30mm on the side -- and since it's just 11.6" diagonally, this new Macbook Air is bordering into the netbook space. Of course, there's the usual 13.3" Macbook Air that's also been refreshed with the new unibody design and components.
